Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

When I was in the third grade
I thought that I was gay
'Cause I could draw, my uncle was
And I kept my room straight
I told my mom
Tears rushing down my face
She's like, Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K
Tripping
Yeah, I (1)__________ she had a point, didn't she
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember (2)__________ the (3)________ like, yeah
I'm good at little league
A pre-conceived idea of (4)________ it all meant
For those that like the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives
Think it's a decision
And you can be cured
With some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God

Oh no, here we go
America the brave
Still (5)__________ what we don't know
And God loves all his children
It's (6)______________ forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
Thirty (7)________ hundred years ago
I don't know
And I can't change
...
Even if I tried
Even if I (8)____________ to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

If I was gay
I (9)__________ think hip-hop (10)__________ me
Have you (11)________ the YouTube comments lately
Man that's gay
Gets dropped on the daily
We've (12)____________ so numb to what we're saying
Our culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for them
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a (13)______________ board
A word (14)____________ in hate
Yet our genre (15)__________ ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser

It's the same (16)________ that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color
A complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins
There's (17)__________ rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on
And be yourself
When I was in (18)____________ they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in is (19)________ poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless rather than fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I (20)__________ not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom (21)________ we're equal
Damn right I support it

I don't know

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

We press play
Don't press pause
Progress, (22)__________ on
With a veil over our eyes
We (23)________ our back on the cause
Till the day (24)________ my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walking (25)____________ the hallway
Plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful
Some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start

No law's gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time (26)________ we raised up
And I can't change

Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She (27)__________ me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
